There are many additional, creative ways to promote your company or organization during GBN events. Past sponsors have offered branded premiums to visitors – pedometers, sunscreen packets, seeds, planting rulers, product catalogs, discounts, and coupons. For many years, a sponsor offered free healthy snacks of sorbet in select neighborhoods at 2 p.m. each day of Garden Walk Buffalo, to the delight of visitors. Another sponsor employed chalk artists to create branded art along our shuttle routes. One sponsor, a lighting specialist, gave all the gardeners of Garden Walk Buffalo green light bulbs for their porch lights!

Your brand has the potential to educate, entertain, and engage a captive audience on what it is doing to make a difference in the world today. We’d like to help you in that goal!
